Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that Newark's ordinance requiring city officers and employees to reside within the city limits is a valid exercise of municipal police power and does not violate the state constitution, statutory preemption, or principles of reasonableness. The Court reversed the lower court's invalidation of the ordinance and remanded for entry of judgment in favor of the city.
